Cantine La Pergola - Lugana Clayver

Precious white wine obtained only in special vintages, the result of a late harvest of 100% Turbianca grapes.

It is aged for 18 months in Clayver and an additional 6 months in the bottle. The production is limited to 2400 bottles. In appearance, it is amber and warm.

On the nose, it stands out for its vine flower and apricot notes. The delicate aging in oak gives it an intense and characteristic flavor, very refined.

The technique

The structure of the ceramic material is microporous and allows for gas exchange with the outside of the barrel, but only in very limited quantities and over very long time scales. The container is therefore suitable for long aging as well. Compared to wood, the main difference lies in the complete absence of substances transferred to the wine, while compared to steel, it has a high degree of insulation and porosity.
